Thanks for the comments. I do have both manuals and also injector gauges for this engine. As for needing more power, no, just need the engine to run at a constant 1600 rpm under different load conditions. Nothing else, idle and 1600 rpm. I have access to a very low mile fire truck engine which likely has a truck engine govener but could by chance have a variable due to being designed to run pumps at a high idle speed. I have not seen the engine in person as yet. I'm not sure just how good the truck engine govener is at limiting high speed. It could be set at 1600 max and then set throttle wide open?? That would eliminate changes to the govener. I used to drive a GMC with a limiting govener set at 61 mph. 366 gas. It worked pretty good as a makeshift cruise control. Just pull out the hand throttle wide open and let it run down the interstate.
I have seen the complete blower unit with govener still bolted on removed. That might be one way to save some adjustments?
No pillows needed to block air intake on this engine as it has the runaway flap intact.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
